The Apple iPhone has revolutionized the way people use their phones. As one of the most sought after smart phones, iPhone has more than a 51% market share in the US and a 10% market share worldwide. It’s been less than 6 years since the iPhone was released, yet the way it has changed the way we use our mobile phones has been dramatic. Consider the following functions and features:
• The iPhone enables the world’s entire music catalog to be streamed instantaneously with the touch of a screen button.
• Maps and even portable GPS devices are nearly obsolete as Apple’s Maps application gives turn- by-turn directions anywhere in the US.
• Siri has become the world’s cheapest personal assistant. She may not be terribly effective yet, but future Siri versions should become more useful.
• Sophisticated hour-by-hour weather maps for the entire world take the guesswork out of what the temperature is. No more trolling the weather channel and waiting for the “eights” to catch local weather.
• Everyone is an instant journalist now that the iPhone has high quality digital and video camera functionality. And, with a native YouTube app, videos can be loaded in real time.
• There’s never a question about what your friends are up to with Facebook and Twitter apps providing constant updates.
• Location services can give you useful push notifications letting you know what’s going on in your area or where stores are having sales and events. The scary side of this is that anyone you allow to access your location knows where you are at any time. Stalkers are in heaven.
• Passbook apps mean that you no longer have to carry a bulky wallet full of loyalty cards, coupons or tickets. It’s all stored virtually and in one convenient spot.
• Stay in touch all the time by having real time email access.
• The world’s entertainment is always handy with apps like Netflix.
• Comparison shopping is a breeze with the RL Classic scanner. Simply hold a bar code up to your phone and you’ll be able to see where else an item is available and how much it costs.
The iPhone has taken the world by storm and a lively app development company combined with a team of talented Apple engineers will make future versions of the iPhone even more useful. Even the accessories market for iPhone cases has taken the world by storm. Android-based smart phones are struggling to catch up and although many are finding some of the Android phones better than the iPhone, the iPhone continues to dominate.
